Open from the first sketch

At Pollen Robotics we believe robots should be understandable, hackable and yours. That is why every product we ship comes with its hardware designs and its software in the open.

What 'open' means here

Open hardware, open software, and a community store where your apps run on the same rails as ours.

What that means in practice

  • The full source of the on-robot stack is public.
  • Community apps run on the same store our own apps use.
  • You can fork, extend and redistribute.

A robot you cannot open is a robot you do not really own.

Extend

Publish a Space, tag it, and it shows up in the app store.

See it live

Stay tuned - this blog will follow the journey of our robots, from Reachy Mini to whatever hatches next.
